Public school teachers in Detroit are getting a wage and benefit cut. The state appointed emergency manager informed Detroit Public School unions this morning that he is imposing a 10 percent wage cut this year. Emergency Manager Roy S. Roberts is also imposing an 80/20 split on health care benefits.

The move is expected to save the district nearly 82 million dollars this year.

Roberts issued a written statement explaining the need for imposing the concessions.
